LexisNexis Academic Changes

With its wealth of newspaper and magazine articles and broadcast news transcripts, LexisNexis Academic has been one of the most popular online resources at W&L for several years.
For better or worse, the publishers have unveiled (unleashed?) a radically-overhauled version of LexisNexis Academic, with not only a significantly different search interface, but with a new structure to the whole database.
In short, things ain't where they used to be.

If you are accustomed to searching particular sections of the database with any regularity, you may want to take a look at the links below and then let me know grefed@wlu.edu if you have questions.

LexisNexis Academic (the basic entry-point)

LexisNexis Academic -- Legal

Roper Center for Public Opinion Research

LexisNexis Academic -- Business

They are still making amendments to the system and we will try to keep abreast of those changes on our own Web pages (as above) and let you know if there are further major changes.
